Mind-blowing – just like THE MATRIX !!!

No excuse anymore for users not to get organised ;)

Hi Adi,

would it be possible to do something about longer text being cut off?
I know this is a limitation with custom fields in general, which has always annoyed me.

Could the entire text be displayed in a tool-tip style bubble on hover?
It would be perfect, if it was also editable in that bubble, but just being able to see it all, would make a real difference.

I have often wondered, whether custom fields could be made auto-expanding also in the write screen. At the moment they are limited to a single line string of 256 chars, I think.

Yes, I know what you mean.

I reckon a tooltip is definitely achievable, I’ll look into it.

Thanks Adi!

I was getting an “Article update failed” message when trying to save some changes. I tracked it down to a single quote ' on custom field.
A possible solution to this issue:

On function adi_matrix_update_article, circa line 525:

	foreach($adi_matrix_cfs as $i => $cf_name) {
		$custom_x = "custom_{$i}";
		if (isset($data[$custom_x]))
-			$cfq[] = "custom_$i = '".$data[$custom_x]."'";
+			$cfq[] = "custom_$i = '".doSlash($data[$custom_x])."'";
	}

Hopefully, that should be enough.

Hi Julián – well spotted & well fixed. I’ll include it in the next release.

Hey, I’d like to double the (a most polite) bump… glz 11+? question by mrdale a few months ago. This plugin would be perfect for me when supporting more than 10 custom fields :-) Any chances in the near future?

Have a nice weekend!

Yes, it probably is time to release the glz_cfs beta version properly. Leave it with me & I’ll do some final checks.

adi_matrix version 1.0 is now available for download:

enhancement: glz_custom_fields compatibility
enhancement: force numeric sort (for jpdupont)
enhancement: sort by Expires timestamp
enhancement: article catagories (for maniqui)
enhancement: option to switch on horizontal scroll (for mrdale)
fixed: MySQL 4.1 compatibility (thanks colak)
fixed: error if custom field contains single quote (thanks maniqui)
fixed: superfluous “Logged in user” wildcard option in matrix appearance
now uses lifecycle events

I’m hoping that adi_matrix & glz_custom_fields will play nicely together but let me know how you get on. Please note that I haven’t been able to implement the radio button reset function.

The horizontal scroll option is an attempt to cope with wide matrix tabs. It can be enabled on a per matrix basis. Thank you mrdale for the suggestion.

Thanks to everyone who’s been testing this new release for me. It’s very much appreciated. Don’t panic if you get some error messages on install (depending on which beta you’ve got installed) – they should appear only once and can be ignored.

maniqui & masa – I haven’t forgotten your other requests!

Wow, incredible! Just tested the plugin on a local tryout-installation, everything seems to work fine for me. I’m deeply impressed and thank you so much!

Hi Adi,
first of all let me say the more I use this plugin the more I love it,
I’ve just istalled the latest version (I never upgraded after v 0.1) and the improvements are amazing.
For the record I’ve been testing it with glz_custom and all seems to be working flawlessly. I love especially the fact that now checkboxes are rendered as checkboxes, multiselects as multiselects etc.

So multiple sections support is a possibility? That would be wonderful, thanks again for a great plugin!

As I wasn’t noticing any kind of compatibility after upgrading to adi_matrix v1.0, I took a look at the plugin’s code to see how the presence (or not) of glz_c_f was being tested.
I found:

$glz_cfs_installed = safe_row("version","txp_plugin","status = 1 AND name='glz_custom_fields'");

That explained why adi_matrix and glz_c_f weren’t playing nice in my TXP install: I’m running plugins from filesystem (plugin_cache_dir), so this kind of test always return false on my install.
Adi, could it be possible for you to add another test to check if glz_c_f is present?
I’m thinking of something like:

$glz_cfs_installed = safe_row("version","txp_plugin","status = 1 AND name='glz_custom_fields'") || function_exists("some_glz_c_f_function");

I’m proposing an OR test using function_exists, but may there be a more bullet-proof of testing the presence of a particular plugin (not relying on the DB and not relying on some particular function)?
